Who the best and worst tippers?? (For Dealers, but anyone is welcome

[Photoc]

Mason, as a dealer myself, I would appreciate it greatly if I could "average" $1 per hand dealt. If that were the case, I'd make 38-45/hr for the 5.5 or 6 hours I deal. I feel that I run a good game even though it is mostly 4/8 and below and restricted buy in NL.

After talking with some friends at Wynn and other higher end joints, it seems that the lower end players are your more gambling type of tourist that are used to Bj dealers and so on having to talk up their game to make money. I used to do that for a living and can definately recognize the difference. Daily, I hear people complain that the dealers are too quiet and yada yada. But when I'll play 8/16 or 10/20 (never played higher), the game is much better off with a quieter dealer. I'm not saying carry on a conversation about your kids and such but a little good luck, or how is everyone, and maybe answer some questions and such and make the players feel like you're one of them works more to my advantage than anything. But I do know when to just STFU, dummy up and deal! lol

Mason,

As much as I respect your opinion I have to disagree...At the lower limits (Which are Bally's main games), 98 percent of the people are NOT going to tip based on how a dealer runs a game...

I beg to differ. I often play in LL games when I visit Vegas with my friends and I'll frequently tip a dealer even if I didn't win a pot if he ran the game well, kept his mouth shut, and dealt fast. The best part about this kind of tipping is that the dealer knows exactly what I'm tipping him/her for and hopefully that reinforces that they are doing a great job and they should stick to whatever it is that they are doing.

That said, not many people do that though - at least not that I've seen.

I've been working at BAllys Poker room for 3 weeks and I've come to my personal observation of who are the best and worst tippers...

1) Young Asian Males (By far the best; Doesn't matter what the pot is..they'll throw 3 or 4 bucks at a time)
2) Mid/Older Males
3) Women
4) Young White Males (By far are the worst, expecially if it's NL)

Thoughts??

I played yesterday with this very young asian girl who tipped at least 7$ in everypot. The best was when she won a pot that was probably about 30$ and then pushed half of it back to the dealer! Everyone kinda laughed to themselves and looked at this girl strange(she was cute too!). It got even funnier when this funny guy in his mid-20s won another pot that was about 30$ and jopkingly pushed half of it to the dealer. Then everyone started hurting their lungs from laughing too hard. The girl only flashed the table a smirk and went back to reading her book. Very strange...

I think people in low limit games tip waaay too much though. I think you should tip 1$ for average size pots and 2$ for big pots. I see people tipping 5$ for pots that arent even 10BBs...

I tip one dollar on any pot I win that sees a flop/turn for the most part.

I usually play 2-5 NL or 5-10 limit if that makes a difference. I don't see why I should tip more than a buck but that's just me.

It can be easily proven that low-limit players who tip $1 or more per pot are toking off most of their profits. (Assuming they are winning players.)

I don't get all the talk about not tipping the dealers handsomely. Everyone knows that if you don't tip the dealers well, they won't give you good cards. I like getting good cards, so I can win more monster pots, and tip the dealers handsomely again. It more than pays for itself when you think about it from a logical perspective...

I prefer a table full of asians. Tip city.

The young white males, all wpt trained (thanks to the wpt never showing tipping) and internet trained should all be banned from cardrooms till they learn how to tip.

Women are fine with me.

Older men do tip some but they usually bitch more than the tips they give are worth.

This easily the stupidest thing I've read today. Getting tipped is not a fuckign birthright. You do not automatically deserve to get part of my pot.
